MY WINDOW GARDEN "MY DELIGHT'

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The bulbs offered in this book are all selected, especially for our own private trade.
We buy from the best growers in Europe and Asia, and pay special prices to secure the
stock we believe our customers demand and should have. We thank all our patrons for
their confidence in the past, and trust that we will continue to enjoy same. To those who
have not dealt with us we wish to say: Give us a trial and be convinced.

Bulbs arrive at different times from ea'rly August to late November. Time of arrival
is noted on every variety, and we would ask our customers to note on every order whether
they desire order held until it can be shipped all together or whether we are at liberty to
send bulbs as they reach us. We can at all times reserve stock and ship at the exact time
wanted.

SPECIAL NOTICE

Under present war conditions Holland-American Steamers, as a rule, are taken off
their route into British ports, and detained for examination. These delays will affect bulb
shipments equally, these shipments most likely coming in later and irregularly.

We crave the indulgence of our customers, and beg to assure them that under all con-
ditions we will have their best interests at heart and deliver goods just as soon as possible
for PLANTING time.

Better facilities are promised and we trust that ocean traffic may be better regulated,
by the time this booklet reaches our friends.

We invariably try to fill all orders as quickly as possible after receipt. However, during
the RUSH season (September, October, and November) orders often reach us in such large
volume that it is not always possible to clear them at once. We therefore PARTICU-
LARLY urge our customers to favor us with EARLY orders.

REMITTANCES should be made by Draft on Bank, Post, or Express Money Differ
(registered letter where Cash is enclosed). Small sums may be sent in loose Postage
stamps.

PARTICULAR care is essential in having NAME, POST OFFICE, COUNTY, and
STATE distinctly written. Many orders reach us during the year, deficient in these items,
often causing delays of weeks in executing them, to the great inconvenience of both. Order-
sheet accompanies each Book and we request our friends to make use of it in writing out
their order.

ACCOUNTS. Should you wish to open an account, please send us references.

No account will be opened under $5.00.

My Window Garden— My Delight

Who would not enjoy having a spot of beauty like the one represented in
the picture of “Window Garden” on our front cover? The bulbs were
grown in our Prepared Mossfiber, showing Hyacinths, Tulips and Nar-
cissi in glorious bloom. And surely, while grim war stalks abroad, while
“La Belle France” lies prostrate, while our hearts are aching for those who
suffer, those who have joined the silent band, and tremble for those who
will fight the battles of honor and truth, let us dispel the gloom cast over
our homes by some bright spot within, by a display of riotous color, by
sweet fragrance and glorious blossoms. What could be more charming than
a window full of these lovely children of spring, while snow and ice cover
the streets and dull gray skies are our daily portion? It lies within the
means of every one to have the home made bright by blossoming things.
Nothing surpasses the interest evoked by the gradual evolution of dry bulb,
then green sprouts, shyly peeping buds until the final appearance of royal
bloom. It is one of the best lessons for children to watch growing plants,
bringing them close to the heart of nature.

Every one can with comparatively little care, small outlay and some
watchfulness have an abundance of flowers in their home for Thanksgiving
until Easter and beyond. But “you must have the love of flowers in
your heart.” It is a curious fact that to be successful in this pursuit of
bloom and fragrance a true affection for them is a necessity. Flowers are
like children, they require care and love. And just consider the pleasure
you are able to give your friends. What brings equal delight to a sickroom
than flowers either cut or growing in their receptacle, the latter even more
welcome.

The greatest point in favor of growing your own flowers, is that flowers
purchased in a store, will fade in the shortest time having been cut a long
time and kept in ice boxes, which causes them to wilt at once when brought
into the warmth of a living-room. Growing blossoms will keep and ex-
pand for days and weeks.

Tulips Growing in Mossfiber

We make a specialty of house culture, by furnishing the very
best bulb, and those most adapted for window gardens, conserva-
tories, glassed in verandahs, etc., of giving the very best advice “how
to succeed” and furnishing the finest medium for cultivation in

OUR PREPARED MOSSFIBER

which is carefully put up by ourselves, and is unequalled for promoting
rapid and luxurious growth. Bulbs can be cultivated in the house by
several methods.

In water and pebbles or sand, to which the following bulbs lend them-
selves particularly: Chinese Narcissus, or Sacred Lilies, Double Roman
Narcissus, Polyanthus Narcissus, Paper White Pol. Narcissus, Soleil d’ or
(Golden Sun) Amaryllis Formossisma, and most of the Trumpet Narcissi.
Rather shallow bowls are used which must be without drainage, the bulbs
placed irfa rather dark but airy place, where they must be left until good
root system is developed which shows by the development of the centre-
shoot. As soon as this is two to three inches high the vessels can be brought
to light and sun. Grow your bulbs rather on the cooler side; too much
warmth is injurious. A mean temperature of 55 to almost 65 is best. Give
air especially on bright days. Do not, however, err by allowing frost to
catch your budding children. Some experience is needed in all pursuits

Paper White Narcissus Growing in Our Mossfiber

of life growth. When two to three inches high remove the bowls, etc.; from
darkness and place gradually into light. It takes from five to eight weeks
to start growth, except in Paper White Narcissus Roman Hyacinths which
can be had in bloom by Thanksgiving if planted latter part of August and
September. Due Van Thol Tulips can be had in flower by Xmas as they
root in five to six weeks. These bulbs arrive during September. Never
keep bulbs too warm, a temperature of fifty-five to sixty-five suits them
best except in a few cases, such as Lily bulbs, which can be forced with
greater heat or Lilies of Valley which will thrive in seventy-five to eighty
degrees. After using our Prepared Mossfiber, it can be cleaned, by remov-
ing all rootgrowth which is entangled with the fiber, the fiber dried and
stored away for next season. By adding a proportionate amount of
fertilizer the fiber can be used a second time.

Our prepared Mossfiber can be used with best success for the
rooting of cuttings (soft wooded) such as geraniums. Carnations.
It is better than sand for this purpose.

With every order for Mossfiber we send full directions “How to Use »>
to be successful. Failure is almost impossible with this treatment. At all
times during the season you can see in our Salesroom at 70 Warren Street
bulbs in all stages of development, growing in our “Prepared Mossfiber”
demonstrating what we claim for the superiority of our Prepared Moss-
fiber.

Hyacinths Growing iri Mossfiber

H. H. BERGER & CO., NEW YORK

Our Prepared Mossfiber

It has been formerly a rather tedious and, may we say, not very cleanly
process to plant bulbs in earthen pots, in soil, have to place saucers under
these pots, to avoid leakage or dampness which marred and ruined furniture.

All this is now an old method. Since we have introduced some years ago
our Mossfiber, bulbs can be grown to perfection and the veriest amateur
will succeed by following directions.

We have experimented a long time until we have finally evolved the
most perfect mixture conducive to the healthiest, strongest growth of
bulbs, and, if we are to believe the many kind letters written us by pleased
customers, we have succeeded.

The great advantages of growing bulbs in Fiber are:

1. Cleanliness and odorlessness of material.

2. Positive prevention of damaging furniture, table covers, etc.

3. Astonishing success in the growing of the bulbs.

4. Positive, quicker growth and splendid development. There are a
variety of fibers to be now had, and while we do not lay claim that we have
the very best, we take pride in declaring that we prepare our fiber from a
formula all our own, using a species of moss which contains many of the
fertilizing qualities needed for the perfect growth of bulbous plants. We
have ourselves thoroughly tested every kind of bulb, and ascertained
whether they do well in the mossfiber. We can therefore state with truth
that the mossfiber we offer will satisfy every expectation to the full. Try
our mossfiber and be convinced.

5. Ornamental bowls, vases, jardinieres can be used at once to plant
the bulbs and have them come into flower instead of having to use unsightly
earthen pots which are necessary for any bulbs grown with soil. Bulbs
grown in mossfiber or other fiber need no drainage hole, the material keep-
ing indefinitely sweet.

Here is a list of bulbs which thrive particularly well in the Mossfiber.

All Polyanthus Narcissus amongst which the Paper White stands fore-
most. This variety planted late August will flower for Thanksgiving.

Another most beautiful sort is the Grande Soleil d’Or or “Golden Sun,”
aptly named so on account of its dazzling golden yellow tint whose radiance
brightens the dullest place. This sort takes 2 to 3 weeks longer to flower
than the Paper White.

All Hyacinths flourish exceedingly well. The first which should be
planted and which bloom the quickest are the French Romans. These
can be had in flower by Thanksgiving but should be planted in August.

Dutch Hyacinths take 4 to 5 months to flower except the Xmas
Hyacinth which will flower the end of December, provided it is planted on
arrival in August. Do not force Hyacinth but allow the topshoots to
grow fully 3 to 4 inches before bringing to light. Too little patience often
results in failure. Hyacinths planted in glasses filled with our mossfiber
will blossom fully three weeks earlier than grown in either plain water or
soil (this from actual experience and experiments).

Trumpet Daffodils all do splendidly in the Mossfiber but will require
4 to 5 months to come to perfect flowering.

Tulips. The Due Van Thol varieties will flower for Xmas. Other sorts
which do well in our Prepared Mossfiber are: Rose Luisante, Rose Gris
de Lin, Yellow Prince, Prince of Austria, Keizer Kroon, Vermilion Brilliant,
White Pottebaker.

Freesias are a lovely flower to grow in the Mossfiber. They can be put at
once in the light.

Crocus form a veritable picture of delight grown in rather shallow bowls.
Use only the largest bulbs, and keep cool. Too much warmth is injurious.
They will not flower until 5 months after planting. The following smaller
bulbs are fine for culture in Mossfiber. Grape Hyacinths, Scillas, Snow-
drops, Chionodoxa, Calochortus, Brodiaea, Erythronium.

LILIES AND AMARYLLIS

Will flower in the prepared mossfiber, in fact we have had the most
gorgeous and perfect Amaryllis flowers come from planting in this fiber.
If you have never grown bulbs in the Prepared Mossfiber

Give It a Trial

The results will justify it, and you will never pass a winter without the
companionship of sweet, fragrant blossoms.

CULTIVATION OF BULBS IN MOSSFIBER
Specially Prepared by Us to Stimulate Growth

On receipt spread the fiber on an even surface and sprinkle with water
evenly until well saturated throughout. Place the fiber in bottom of re-
ceptacle, to the depth of 1 to 2 inches according to size of bulbs and vessel,
place the bulbs carefully on top of fiber, taking care that they do not touch
each other, then fill the bowl well with fiber, covering smaller bulbs but
leaving the tops of larger ones exposed at the top. According to size of
bulbs one quarter inch to one inch. The latter applies mostly to large
Amaryllis, Large Trumpet Narcissus. Do not press the fiber too tightly
although it is desirable to have the fiber well around the bulbs; if pressed
too tight, the roots cannot work freely and the bulbs have a tendency to
push themselves up.

Great care must be taken to keep the fiber moist but by no means wet
or soggy as this will rot the bulbs. If, however, allowed to get dry, even for
half a day the pores of the roots close up and bulbs are blighted. This re-
fers especially to Tulips the roots of which being very fine are more Eable
to injury. As it is essential that the fiber is kept sweet it is good to place a
piece of charcoal at bottom of vessel (we send a piece of this charcoal with
every order) . When the bulbs are potted the bowls or Jardinieres, etc., must
be placed in an airy situation. A dark airy cellar is fine but in all cases
avoid stuffy airless places or confined cupboards. Should you ever over-
water the fiber, turn the bowl carefully on its side and allow the surplus
water to drain off. It is of course essential to keep the bulbs when potted
in a darkened place. When good root action is established the centre shoots
will show.

The Byzantine Wonder Lily

This name was given by us to this really wonderful blossom when we
first introduced it six years ago. We do not claim that we created this
flower but we do claim that we first saw its possibilities for winter flowering
as it requires absolutely no care; requires nothing except warmth and
light to unfold its exquisite flowers. This bulb is a native of Palestine
and Asia, where it has been found in the neighborhood of old Byzantium —
decking the surrounding country in early winter with its bright blossoms.

Note carefully: These bulbs can only be furnished from end of August
to end of November. After that they deteriorate in flowering qualities
and^while they will produce foliage the bloom will not develop well. Do
not wait until the last day to order as our experience has been that the
supply has so far never been equal to the demand. We take your order
any time from the time this book reaches you and will deliver you the bulbs
at any time you may designate up to end of November. You can calculate
just when you desire the bulbs for any given day to be in bloom as it takes
from 2 to 3 weeks to bring them out in fine flowers. Thus if you wish to
have the flowers for Thanksgiving order them to be delivered first week in
November. For Xmas, late November.

When you receive the bulbs place them in any shallow dish you may
wish, or on a plate, in a wicker basket, or even just on the surface of table
or windowsill. They will bloom anywhere light and warmth is obtainable.
They love sunlight, and the bloom will appear much brighter in color and a
faint fragrance develops in the sun. We have often been asked what is the
exact color of the Byzantine Wonder Lily. Some customers have reported
that one bulb flowered blush white, another rose, the next a lilac rose. We
cannot ourselves vouch for the exact color. The tints vary from blush to
rose and rosy lilac. Whatever color appears it is always beautiful. The
chalix of the flower is wide open as the flower expands and shows a corolla
of golden stamens. The flowers open in succession, as a rule one to three
first flowering, when they must be cut off close to the bulb; others will crowd
up until as many as from 10 to 20 and more flowers will come up keeping
the bulb in flower for a period of three to four weeks. Every day is a new
pleasure watching the flowering.

The “Lily of the Field”

A beautiful flowering bulb from Asia Minor, said to be the Lily to which
our Lord referred in His sermon. The flowers range from cream to prim-
rose and pure golden yellow. Planted in August, the bulbs produce
within a few weeks large crocus-like flowers. They succeed outdoors best,
planted in a sheltered spot, in deep rich soil. Protect in winter with litter.
They increase rapidly. For the house, these charming bulbs can be
planted, like the Chinese Narcissus, in pebbles and water, and make a
beautiful effect in room or window garden. Extra strong flowering bulbs.
Each, 7 cents; doz., 75 cents; 100, $5.00.

A Grand Novelty in IRIS

This rare Iris has been found in Morocco, and its great advantage is,
that it will force into flower for Christmas. The flower is three to four
inches in diameter, pearly white, with blue markings and yellow base; very
dainty and beautiful. The flowers are borne on long stems, 15 inches and
more. The foliage is substantial, of a vivid bright green. The whole plant
presents a rare and novel sight. Started and grown in our PREPARED
MOSSFIBER, or in soil, it will make a most unique Christmas gift for a
friend, or grace your own rooms.

Chinese Sacred Narcissus

; First of all secure only the very best Bulbs — the true Shui-Sin-Far
(Flower of the Gods) . This sort has been cultivated for unknown ages
in the Orient. The Chinese call it the Flower of the Gods, or Flower
of Good Luck. Every Chinaman even away from his native land, ' culti-
vates them at the proper time and the blooming of the bulbs serves him as
an omen for the coming year’s luck. Sad indeed is the Celestial whose
bulbs refuse him bloom. Tb - bulbs are brought into flower in an incredibly
short time, five to six weeks <: ten sufficing. You can really see them grow
day by day. Each bulb sends up (according to size of bulb) from 5 to 10
spikes bearing clusters of waxy white blossoms with yellow centers. Most
deliciously fragrant.

Be sure to secure the true Shui-Sin-Far as home-grown bulbs will not
flower well.

Note. H. H. Berger & Co. were the first firm to import these bulbs from
China to the United States, from San Francisco over 30 years ago.

We send with every order of Chinese Narcissus printed special directions
how to grow them successfully.

Do not buy small flabby bulbs. They will not give you satisfaction.

The Finest Early Flowering Narcissus

Paperwhite Narcissus

One of the finest and most satisfactory flowering bulbs for your window-
garden. Succeeds well grown in water and pebbles, and is a grand success
in our Prepared Mossfiber.

We handle only the variety Grandiflora, as it is the one with enormous
rich clusters of pure white fragrant bloom. To have flowers by Thanks-
giving bulbs must be planted in August when they arrive. If you wish
a succession of flowers, purchase the bulbs then, keep them in a cool dry
place spread on a shelf or hung up in paper bags. It takes 8 weeks to come
into flower. When planted set in a cool, dark, airy place. Roots will form
in about three weeks. Then bring to the light but keep cool in a tempera-
ture of 50 to 60. Your success will be assured.

Do not confound our

“Grandiflora” with the cheap Italian

stuff.

These Hyacinths are grown in masses i” the South of France. They
are the earliest to come in, arriving in August, and if earliest bloom is
desired should be planted at once. It is possible to have them in flower

large and heavy as the Holland Hyacinths, the stems are not stiff but very
graceful, the perfume entrancingly sweet, and the bulbs of the easiest
growth.

Our Prepared Mossfiber is an ideal medium in which to grow these
Hyacinthsas well as all others. We have tried it and know what we are
saying. Plant these beautiful fragrant flowers in succession and you 'can
have a perpetual joy and delight surrounding you.

Do not plant small bulbs. They give poor bloom and are not worth the

I want to tell you about the Extraordinary Toproot Hyacinths
that I have had from bulbs bought from you for my winter garden.
I raised the following in glasses, and they have been marvelous.
I had one Pieneman that had five stalks in bloom at once of different
height, all well developed, and a mass of beautiful and graceful
foliage. It was the most graceful bunch of Hyacinths I have ever
seen. Then I had one Gigantea with two stalks in blossom simul-
taneously. One measured fifteen inches from the top of the bulb
to the end of the flowers. The other stalk was eleven inches above
the bulb, ten inches being covered with flowers. At this writing
I have one Gigantea measuring sixteen inches high, and eleven
inches flowered. But although I have been devoted to my winter
garden for years, and am accustomed to having really beautiful
Crocus from frost until spring, I have never seen anything equal
to these three samples I mention. I am only sorry that I did not
have the Pieneman photographed.

the bulb resting in a small space is liable to bend under the weight of the
flower stalk. Fill the glasses with soft water (rain water is best where
obtainable), place the bulb in the small bowl on top of glass, so that the
base just touches the water. Place a small piece of charcoal in the bottom
of the glass to keep the water sweet. Set the glasses in a rather dry
darkish place, which, however, must be airy at a temperature of 50 to 60
degrees and keep them there until the root system is well developed,
which shows through the glass and by topgrowth starting. Bring grad-
ually to light and sunshine. Give at first only a moderate temperature
which can be raised to 65 to 70 degrees later on. Should the flower seem
to stick between the foliage growing up around it, place a paper cone over
the buds, which will draw the flower up to the light.

As with all flowers grown in the house give air, but allow no direct
draughts nor hot sun direct through glass as this is liable to bum foliage
and buds. This can be obviated by not placing flowers too near the
glass or by protecting with very thin cheese cloth or other very trans-
parent material.

Broadiaea

Calochortus— Mariposas. or Butterfly Tulips

Some Exquisite Bulbs for the Garden and House

These are natives of the Pacific Coast, mostly northern parts, and are
amongst the most beautiful blooms; especially adapted for rock gardens,
wildwood lands and amongst the shrubbery border. For the house, they
thrive to perfection in our Prepared Mossfiber as we tested them thor-
oughly this past winter. All are lovely in form and color and we have
selected amongst a great quantity the very best and hardiest, and those
giving the greatest satisfaction.

Brodiaes

Are all hardy. Grasslike, slender leaves are produced at the base from
which rise the tall stems crowned with umbels of brilliantly tinted flowers
of a waxy texture and great keeping qualities. Plant anywhere singly or
in groups, to a depth of 1$ to 2 inches. They are happiest in rich mold,
but almost any soil suits them as they are not at all particular. If used
for rock garden, plant in the crevices where they love to flower. In
mixing soil add some gritty sand.

SIX CHOICEST BRODI^AS

Californica. The largest of them all. Stem 18 to 24 inches high
Flowers a most delicate blush rose. Very beautiful.

Grandiflora. Flowers large, a deep lustrous blue.

Peduncularis. The flowers, borne on long stems, are pure white.
This variety loves moisture.

Coccinea (Floral Firecracker). Well named. The flowers droop in
umbels from the tall stems. Look exactly like firecrackers. Are of a
fiery scarlet crimson color tipped pea green for a fuse. Amongst ferns, in
shady nooks amongst rocks, they are ideally pretty. They must have
good drainage, love rather sharp gritty soil.

Volubiiis (The twining Hyacinth). A very striking and unique
flower.

A cluster of waxy deep pink flowers crowns the tip of the stem.

Bloomeria. Golden yellow with many flowered umbels. Very bright.
Each of the six Brodiseas listed, 10 cents; the six for 55 cents. Per doz.,
each of the six sorts, the doz., $1.00; 6 doz., $5.50.

Calochortii

Beautiful flowers. Called by the old Spanish inhabitants Mariposas
Butterflies. Their colors are so rich, so dazzling they are like floral butter-
flies. The petals are adorned with bright colored eyes like the wings of
the butterflies.

Amongst the redwoods of California, in the high Sierras, even in thi.
desert are found these lovely blossoms. The choice we made comprises
only hardy species and those which will give satisfaction. Plant to a
depth of 2 to 2£ inches. Never use any fresh manure, only a rich garden
loam with admixture of leafmold and sand.

They thrive admirably in our Prepared Mossfiber which will prove tc
you the easiest cleanliest, method for house culture. In the garden plan!
in open, sunny spaces in groups or in the border. They are beautiful
everywhere.

Brodiaeas as well as Calochortus need winter protection same as
Hyacinths, Tulips, etc.

After flowering bulbs in the house, keep them dry during summer ano
begin watering in late fall about November when they will begin to grow
and flower again through winter. Should you wish very fine flowers it
is good to take up the bulbs and replant them in fresh material — Moss-
fiber or soil.

The list below comprises the gems of the Mariposas.

SIX GEMS AMONGST CALOCHORTI. “MARIPOSAS” OR
BUTTERFLY TULIPS

1. Albus (Fairy Lantern). Perfection of form. Resembling a closed
lantern of loose leaves hanging on swaying stems — many flowers to the
main and branching stems. This is one of the loveliest flowers. Loves
partial shade and loose soil. Transparent, white, exquisite.

Pulchellus. Same growth and form as above, but a beautiful lemon
yellow. Grow together with the white form if you desire the loveliest
combination.

Venustus Eldorado. See picture at the head of this section. Wide
open flowers on slender stems. The marking and colors are so many in
this strain they cannot be described. Through all the shades of white,
rose, red, violet, purple, each flower has blotches or eyes contrasting in
tint with the petal itself. Plant in partly shady places in good garden soil.

Venustus Occulatus. Sturdy stalks bear flowers often 4 inches
across. Colors: white, cream, mauve, and purple. All have rich colored
eyes richly zoned and penciled at the base. Many flowers to one stem
and branches.

Vesta. Succeeds in any ordinary soil. Is one of the very best varieties
known. The immense flowers are 4 to 5 inches across, numerous and
borne on long sturdy stems. Color; white, suffused rosy lilac. Red
eye; back of petal purple, beautifully oculated. It is the finest gem
amongst this species .

Splendens Rubra. A tall species, bearing large flowers of the most
exquisite satiny rose. Hardy. It loves rather heavy soil, and sunshine.

Each of the six sorts, 10 cents; fcthe six for 55 cents; twelve of any sort
listed, $1.00.

Mixed Calochortii or Mariposa, per doz., 50 cents; per 100, $3.0C

The Glorious “Darwin Tulips”

No words can adequately describe the gorgeousness and glory of these
Giants amongst Tulips. They all bear on sturdy tall stems (2-3 feet
high) immense cupshaped flowers of the most brilliant hues, ranging from
a pure white in "White Queen, through the most delicate blush rose, to deep-
est cerise, pale heliotrope, mauve, violet to deepest shining purple, from
bright to deep scarlet, reddish maroon to shining black.

As material for garden decoration, in beds, in the Herbaceous border,
amongst shrubbery, in groups wherever planted these marvelous flowers
attract admiration and attention.

So easily grown, such a rich reward.

Darwin Tulips are best planted from middle to end of October and to late
November. An even later planting is not detrimental to the bulb pro-
vided that the place selected for the planting has been protected with a
mulch of manure, to prevent frost entering the ground, and this mulch is
replaced at once after the planting of the bulbs. Darwin Tulips should
be planted full five inches apart and the bulbs should be 5-6 inches deep
in heavy soils, and from 6-7 on lighter soils.

Many of the Darwin Tulips are splendid for forcing in the house and
can be had in bloom by February-March. We have designated those
varieties which adapt themselves best for forcing with a *. While most
all tints in color scale are represented in Darwins, no yellow color has
as yet been found in the class. The sort which is best used to give a
yellow tone is the May flowering "Inglescombe yellow also called "yellow
Darwin. Bronze tints are represented amongst the Old Dutch, and
Breeder sorts. Do not fail to plant the “Darwin Tulip.” Its beauty
is beyond compare.

IMPORTED SEEDS, BULBS, AND PLANTS

Tulips

Long centuries ago these gay flowers flaunted their brilliant banners in the gardens
of France, Holland, and England. Since that time vast improvements have been
achieved through selection and hybridizing, raising new sorts from seed, etc. To-day
we have a mass of the most rare and gorgeous varieties. Tulips grace every
garden, lifting their brilliant chalices from late March till June to the kisses of
spring’s sun. In all the tints of the rainbow they glitter and glisten.

Tulips are so easily raised, require so little care they almost grow by themselves.
The same rules of cultivation given for Narcissi apply to them. The same soil
suits them. Never fail to spade the soil where you intend to plant tulips fully 15 to
18 inches deep, as these bulbs are mostly injured by stagnant moisture in the soil
and deep digging helps drainage. A top dressing of slacked lime is very beneficial
and should be applied after the soil is prepared and the tulips planted. A sunny spot
is the ideal situation for Tulips, a spot not too much exposed to high winds as the
May flowering Tulips, Cottage, and Darwins, especially have stems 2 to 3 feet high
which violent winds are apt to injure.

Depth to Plant: 5 to 5J inches from the bottom of the bulb is the average
depth Tulips require to be planted. Plant early single sorts 4 inches apart, early
double 5 inches apart, Darwin and Cottage varieties 6 to 7 inches apart. Be sure
that every bulb touches the bottom and is not hung up as that would court disaster.
Time to Plant. It is a mistake and an exploded idea that Tulips should be
planted out-of-doors early. If the bulbs are kept in
the dark, that is in packages not exposed to the air
and in a rather dry place and show no root or top-
growth, they can be planted any time from October
tenth to middle of November and later provided no
heavy frosts have appeared. Protect Tulips after first
heavy frosts the same as Narcissi with a litter of ever-
green branches or other light material.

CULTIVATION IN THE HOUSE

For this end plant early. Treat otherwise the same
as Narcissi. Keep in the dark in an airy place (pro-
vided no garden space is available). See that the soil
or mossfiber is fairly moist, not soaking wet, until
top-growth starts.

Never make the mistake of keeping tulips too warm.
This will surely blight the buds. A temperature of 55
to 65 degrees is ample. The earliest sorts to flower are the Due Van Thol sorts. The
easiest grown sorts for beginners are, besides these, yellow Prince, White Hawk, Rose
Luisante, Rose Gris-de-Lin, Vermilion Brilliant, Prince of Austria. For early bloom: Keizer-
kroon, D. de Parma, Belle Alliance. Double: Boulede Neige; the three Murillos rose, white
and sulphur; Tournesol, red and yellow. Couronne d’Or, and Couronne de Roses. Tulips
require more care and attention than Narcissi or Hyacinths if grown in the house, but a
very little experience soon will teach anybody who loves flowers the right way to be
successful.

Bowls are far prettier in which to grow Tulips in the house than are pots. Grown in
bowls in our Prepared Mossfiber tulips have a truly charming effect. Plant three Tulip
bulbs in a 5-inch bowl, 5 in a 6-inch, 7 in a 7-inch.

Single Early Tulips in Mixture

Most tulips sold in “Mixtures” are not satisfactory. While they are
mostly cheap they do not give the results anticipated by the buyer.
The bulbs are frequently undersized and often diseased. These cheap
mixtures can be purchased in Holland as low as $2.00 the 1000. It were
folly to expect a first class article for so low a price. We do not handle
cheap mixtures, but guarantee our customers that the bulbs we offer in
mixtures, are all selected from best sorts, representing all colors found in
tulips and consisting of varieties which will flower same time and of about

the same height.

May-Flowering Tulips

The name “Cottage Tulips” is owing to the fact that some of the most
magnificent specimens of the type have been found growing in old cottage
gardens in England, Scotland, Ireland, and France where they had been
established for more than a hundred years. These Tulips are without
question the crowning glory of spring’s riotous bloom. They all have
long stout graceful stems, and the range of color embraces all tints and
shades from pure white, through all shadings of blush rose, carmine, red,
scarlet, mauve, purple. In beds, in groups in the herbaceous border, wher-
ever the eye greets them, marvelous beauty of color and form is presented.
No garden be it ever so small, should miss the beauty of these magnificent
blooms.

Prepare your soil as indicated on Page 11. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in
heavy soil, 6 to 7 inches in light soil. A distance of 6 to 7 inches apart
suits best. Shallow planting will not answer for May flowering tulips.
These tulips can remain undisturbed for several years after which they
may be taken up and divided.

Narcissi or Daffodils

(J READY SEPTEMBER 20th)

Whose Silver and Gold flashes through the tender green of early Spring

The cultivation of all Narcissi is the very easiest. They content them-
selves with so little and repay so liberally.

They can be grown in beds, in rows, in groups, or scattered on the lawn
in clumps, planted alongside streams, through woodland stretches, as
they naturalize with greatest ease, multiplying year after year when they
can be taken up, divided and replanted. Moreover there is such an endless
variety of these gracious flowers. A constant succession can be kept up
from early winter (by flowering them in the house) continuing the bloom
in the open where they begin to blossom according to season from March
till almost June. They are mostly strong sturdy growers and very free
bloomers. As cut flowers they keep for days in water, and especially the
golden daffodils diffuse a wealth of sunshine in even the darkest comer.

PLANTING IN OPEN GROUND

All Narcissi thrive in any good garden loam, where, however, the soil
is heavy and clayey some mold and sand should be mixed and Bonemeal
used as fertilizer where the ground is poor. Where the soil is very light and
sandy, incorporate some old rotten cow manure, but never use fresh man-
ure of any kind around any bulb.

Depth to plant bulbs. A good rule applicable to all bulbs (except
lilies) is to cover the top of the bulb with i ) , its own depth. Thus a
Daffodil bulb measuring in height, 2 inches, should be covered with 3
inches of soil. On light and sandy soils the bulbs must be planted some-
what deeper than on stiff and heavy soil. Plant three to six inches apart
according to size of bulb.

Naturalizing Daffodils in Grass. Narcissii never look more enchant-
ing than when flowering amongst grass (their natural form) on grassy
slopes in irregular groups along park stretches.

Time of Planting. The best time for planting all Daffodils is in early
autumn, October and November, although we have seen some of the finest
flowers from bulbs planted in December.

CULTURE OF NARCISSI FOR HOUSE BLOOM

1 . Many sorts grow well in water and pebbles.

2. The new method of growing them in our “Prepared Mossfiber.”

This latter has found the greatest favor as being the cleanliest, easiest,

and best method as yet taken up by flower lovers.

An airy dark closet or shelf will answer.

The essential point to obtain good flowers is to allow all bulbs, no matter
of what kind or sort, to form a perfect root system. Various bulbs take
different times until perfect root system is established. Narcissi take from
4 to 8 weeks according to variety. It is easy to determine whether roots
are well established. Where flowers are wanted in succession, bulbs
should be planted at certain intervals or if planted all at one time some
of the sorts must be kept in a colder place, to retard growth. As soon
as the tops show a healthy growth of about two inches, take into the light
at first in a very moderate temperature of say 50 to 55 degrees, and as
soon as the foliage turns a darker green, in about three to four days, more
warmth and sunshine can be given. None of the Daffodils like too much
heat. A temperature of 55 to 65 suits them best. A sunny window pro-
tected from direct draughts is suitable. At all times give plenty of light
and air. After the buds are well developed a weekly application of weak
manure water or other fertilizer (never too strong) will make the color of
flowers more vivid, the flowers themselves stronger. To differentiate the
various sorts we have designated all varieties of Narcissi with following
marks.

V — Very early; E — Early; M — Medium early; L — Late.

seen it excites admiration. It is moreover, so inexpensive that it can be
purchased by any one, and grace even the smallest garden with its beauty.
It is often used in quantities of thousands and thousands where large
estates desire spring flowers for naturalizing. There are several distinct
varieties of which we list the very best. All have the snowy white peri-
anth in common, and flattened yellow crowns, more or less margined with
brilliant orange, scarlet or crimson.

London, Dec. 1st, 1916

Dear Sirs: —

I want to tell you how very well the plants, etc., I ordered
from you last April turned out — The Dahlias proved a great suc-
cess. The plants were a sheet of bloom, and each flower was im-
mense “as large as saucers.”

People came from all parts of town to look at them and
many even took the trouble to write me in London, England, to
enquire the name and where I got them — Thanking you for the
very efficient way in which you carried out my order.

Mrs, E. M. N., Marfa, Texas.

Soil, location and general treatment same as for Narcissi and Tulips.
Dig the soil 12 to 15 inches deep, raking it afterwards to an even surface
Plant the bulbs six to seven inches apart very evenly, covering them fully
four inches deep from top of bulb. Press in the soil gently around the bulbs
but not heavily as too heavy a pressure causes the bulb to lift, after taking
root. A handful of clean sand placed around each bulb secures good drain-
age, and keeps insects from attacking the bulb. After heavy frosts set in,
not before, cover the bulbs with leaves, evergreen branches, or coarse

IMPORTED SEEDS, BULBS, AND PLANTS

Dutch, Roman, or Miniature Hyacinths

These Hyacinths are specially beautiful if grown in bowls or pans.
To have the best success and finest display, plant only one variety of
these Hyacinths in one bowl or pan to have them all bloom at the same
time and of the same tint. Every sort has its own time and own mode
of growing, hence where various sorts are grown in one receptacle, the
effect is often unsatisfactory. The list we give below contains the best
sorts for growing in the house. Plant 8 to 12 bulbs according to size in
a bowl or pan 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Follow same directions as
for Hyacinths as the Miniature Hyacinths are the very same bulbs, only
differing in size from the others. We offer four sizes of Hyacinths.

Toproots. These are the pick of the whole crop. Are used in Europe
mainly for Exhibition flowers, grown in the house, and give the very best
results where the very finest are expected.

Second size. These bulbs are very fine for forcing and also for bedding
where a very fine display of flowers is wanted in the garden.

Bedding Hyacinths. Give excellent results in open ground. These
are followed by the Miniature Hyacinths which are specially fine for
forcing, and while they do not produce the long heavy spikes they flower
very well and give smaller but well-filled spikes, are less costly and spe-
cially good for amateurs as they grow with greatest ease.

You delivered to me Narcissus and Hyacinth bulbs for in-
door culture, with your prepared Mossfiber with instructions for the
planting, and care of the bulbs, which I followed closely with the
MOST marvelous results. The Hyacinths (Christmas Hyacinths)
were wonderful. Three bulbs in an eight-inch pan have bloomed
three times, seventeen spikes of bloom being the average to a pan.
and only large trusses, eight inches long and ten inches round. I
have never seen in a greenhouse such beautiful blossoms.

Amaryllis

The gorgeous colors of these lily-like flowers, their dazzling beauty and
lasting qualities make them a gem for the garden in summer, and a magnifi-
cent addition to the winter garden. They are fast attaining first rank
amongst Bulbous flowers and a vast number of enthusiasts are yearly
producing rarest and newest sorts. Amaryllis are grown from seeds and
offsets. New sorts are constantly added to the list grown from seed.

Culture. Pot the bulbs as soon as received, in well drained pots in
earth, and give them at first only moderate temperature, using a compost
of good garden loam mixed with a part of clean sand, leafmold, and well
rotted cow manure. Add some powdered charcoal and place some pieces
of charcoal at bottom of pot. Plant the bulbs two thirds below the earth.
Give one good watering when planted and do not water until the soil re-
quires it. Keep the bulbs in the dark until stem is well grown out. When
the buds have well formed, give weak liquid fertilizer or manure water
once a week. As soon as flowering period is over reduce the watering,
eventually keeping the bulbs dry until they show signs of new growth.
After growth has well started the bulbs can be placed in a warm sunny
window.

Note: We have flowered magnificent Amaryllis in Our Prepared

Mossfiber.

NEW ROYAL AMARYLLIS

This new race of Amaryllis produces a bulb of enormous size and strength
throwing up broad, healthy foliage and stout flower scapes, each producing
blossoms of truly gigantic size. The flowers are often a foot or more
across, larger than the Auratum Lily, and with colors which for purity
and intensity are marvels. A well known specialist has spent years in
hybridizing and perfecting this strain, during which time they have been
seen by horticultural experts all over the world, and their great superiority
over all known Amaryllis fully acknowledged. The colors vary from as
near pure while as has ever been found, to the deepest maroon, taking
in all intermediate shades and showing contrasting stripes of white, rose,
scarlet, blood red, etc.

To have the best in Amaryllis give our ‘‘Royal Strain” a trial. Each
bulb, $1.00, six for $5.00. Each bulb is really worth five times the amount,
but we wish to disseminate these floral wonders.

mottled stem in a very short time large red
and black spotted lily-like flowers with a
tall spathe. The foliage which is very orna-
mental and palm-like appears after the
flower. Can be grown without any soil or
water, but we prefer to get best results by
planting the bulbs in soil or in Our Pre-
pared Mossfiber in which we flowered them
to perfection last winter. Large bulbs ....

be planted in rich soil and as soon as the flower bud
appears a weekly feeding with weak manure water
increases size and beauty of flower. A saucer kept

Amongst odd and strange flowers this certainly
merits a place. It is strictly a winter bloomer. The
flowers are enormous, fully a foot in length, color
as near as coal black as possible in flowers, with a
brilliant metallic sheen, and is grown by many for
its oddity. The bulbs should be potted in fall,
and when growth commences kept in a sunny win-
dow. After blooming the foliage di^ down, and the
bulbs should then be kept dry until the next fall.

Crocus Grown in Mossfiber

Crocus

READY LATE SEPTEMBER

Wherever these darling flowers are seen they strike the heralding note
of spring time. Their colors are so bright, so varied, so cheering after
the dreary days of winter, that we greet them with ever renewed delight.
Spring has come in all his glory and we hail his lovely messengers with
joy. Wherever these blossoms are seen they make a picture to gladden
the beholder. Plant them in masses, drop them irregularly throughout
the lawn, which makes them appear at their best, plant them in long
borders in contrasting colors in straight or curving lines: their beauty will
shine anywhere. One main point is to be observed: The soil must be
well moistened (although not sodden) from fall rains or artificial irrigation
before planting the bulbs. For planting use a dibber if possible cutting
with it a small piece of the turf when planting in the lawn and lightly
covering the bulb. Never plant Crocus too deep, 1 to 2 inches from
top of bulbs is sufficient. Crocus grow to perfection in Our Prepared
Mossfiber. Plant 6 to 8 bulbs in a bowl or other receptacle 5 to 6 inches
in diameter. Grow slowly and in not too high a temperature. They
will not stand much heat and love a rather moist atmosphere.

AUTUMN AND WINTER BLOOMING CROCUS

READY EARLY SEPTEMBER

These charming flowers are not as yet, well known in this country, and
have hot been given sufficient place in the gardens. They arg beautiful.
Coming into bloom just when all other flowers go to sleep these gay Butter-
flies wake to life, brightening with their gaudy colors the sad days of
approaching winter. They will flower from late October right through
till January and often will bloom right through light snowfalls. Any
ordinary garden soil suits them. The bulbs arrive early September and
must be planted at once to insure success. Do not order after first of
October, as no more bulbs are available, and none will give you flowers if
planted so late. Plant as early as possible, quite shallow, barely covering
them with soil. Much failure in planting Crocus comes from deep plant-

ing. We list only a few of the showiest and finest sorts.

on which are borne several large starry flowers of waxy whiteness and
unexcelled fragrance. For exquisite beauty this flower has no peer.
Being a native of Brazil on the river Amazon it needs warmth and a
certain amount of moisture. It flowers grand in Our Prepared Mossfiber.
Plant the bulbs in either the Mossfiber or well drained pots in good garden
soil. They need not be placed in the dark but can be set in warmth and
light. Placing an inverted glass over the bulb until it has made its first
growth of a few inches we have found very beneficial. Never allow to
dry out. Keep a saucer filled with water under pots (unless grown in our

Giant Dutch or Holland Iris

READY IN OCTOBER

We first brought this unsurpassable race of Iris to the attention of our
clients two years ago when the sale was quite limited. The past season
the demand was a good deal more than we expected. These magnificent
flowers have found such universal favor that we trust every lover of the
Iris will give them a trial and be convinced of their superior merit. These
Iris are best described as a giant strain of the early flowering Spanish Iris.
The flowers are of enormous size and great substance. The foliage is very
beautiful, broad glaucous green. The range of color is wide and of dazzling
effect. They flower two to three weeks earlier than the earliest Spanish
Iris. Many of the sorts we list have obtained certificates at the R. H. S.
in England and Holland. Treatment required same as Spanish or English

The Imperial Japanese Iris (Iris Ksempferi)

The firm of H. H. Berger & Co. was the first to import these majestic
flowers into the United States, in 1877, when Mr. H. H. Berger brought
the first clumps to San Francisco, Cal. Since then, by slow degrees, these
gorgeous plants have found their way into the gardens of flower lovers
and, once seen, the desire to grow them is sure to induce the purchase of
them.

Quite a few inferior varieties have been allowed to come up amongst the
original stock. We strive to offer the best and newest as every season
more or less new hybrids are found amongst the stock and in the Iris
fields. Others are raised from seed and the variety of colors is bewildering.
Some of the hybrids revert after some time to the original tints and we have
therefore, done our utmost to offer only fixed types.

ISME^E

QaATHEJ^

The Great Ismene Calthina. Not enough can be said in praise of
the exquisite beauty and purity of this flower. They are very large Ama-
ryllis like, snow white and of delicious fragrance. In fact they can be called
a white Amaryllis. These lovely plants have a peculiar grandeur which one
can feel when seeing it in bloom but which is difficult to describe. Bulbs
are large and strong and begin to flower a very short time after planting.
They send tall flower stems which each bear several of the gorgeous blos-
soms. As a garden bulb treat same as gladioli. Do not fail to plant it.
It will more than make you enthusiastic, for it is superior to the magnificent
Bermuda white trumpet lily. The price brings it within the reach of all.
Each strong bulb, 20 cents; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for $1.00.

Ismene is splendid for winter flowering in the house, if treated same as
Amaryllis. Place at once in light and warmth, near the glass. Grows
to perfection in Our Prepared Mossfiber.

Lilies

Plant lilies, they are the glory of the garden. Their matchless beauty is
unrivalled by any other flower. It is a most fallacious idea that lilies are
hard to grow. Most of the species can be left undisturbed for years in the
same place where they increase until taken up and divided. Lilies can
be had in bloom from early June until September in the garden, and some

sorts can be flowered in the house
for Xmas and Easter. We do not
attempt here to give cultural direct-
ions which are sent out in printed
form with every order for any one
or more lily bulbs ordered from us.

The firm of H. H. Berger & Co.
was the first tc bring to this country
the Japan lily bulbs in any quantity.
In the year 1877, Mr. H. H. Berger
brought to San Francisco the first
lilium auratum rubrum, album, etc.
Following prices were obtained for
these bulbs : One auratum sold for

beauty and fragrance.

Lilium Candidum

The first to come for the plant-
ing season is also known under
other names. Annunciation Lily so
called from painters in the Middle
Ages, depicting the Blessed Virgin,
being visited by an Angel carrying
this pure white lily. Madonna Lily
in honor of the Holy Virgin. Saint
Joseph’s Lily, this saint being paint-
ed, holding this Lily, emblem of
purity. Also Cottage Lily as it is
seen blooming in great masses in
front of cottages in France, Eng-
land, Scotland, and Germany.
Under any name this pure fragrant
Lily is beautiful. It blooms end of
May and during June and part of
July (dependent on seasons), lifting
its tall stems and silvery chalice to
the sun and dew, an emblem of all
that is holy and pure. But this is
an age of commerce and so many
flowers symbolize so many dollars,
so do bulbs. The bulbs of L. Can-
didum arrive from Europe, where
they are grown in masses about the
middle to end of August. They
should be planted the first part of
September wherever possible as they
must make a fall growth and estab-
lish a root system to flower well the
coming season.

Wehave tried hard to impress this
on our friends, but too often orders
are given late and the flowering of
coming season impaired by late
rolla of foliage before frosts set in

bring the bulbs here after planting time, we keep them over winter and
deliver in spring at proper time for planting. But please order in fall as
we must order our supply before spring in Japan.

Lilies should be planted where they are protected from cold winds ana
where the soil is not dried out by the direct heat of the sun. On large
grounds the ideal location is a glade in the woods. The partial shade of
deciduous trees, the shelter of rhododendrons or bamboos, or similar
shrubs, or of tall-growing perennial plants, may give conditions quite
suited to their culture. A protected nook on the shady side of the house
is best on small grounds and ferns are congenial neighbors.

Drainage. This must be perfect. If the ground is heavy and clammy,
underdrainage should be given, and the soil made lighter and looser by the
addition of humus.

Soil. This should be a fairly good loam, mixed with humus and sand.
New Manures are always to be avoided with Lilies.

Planting. They should be planted so that the top of the bulb is not
less than 4 inches from the surface; about each bulb put a layer of an inch
or so of sand which will carry away excessive moisture and prevent fungous
attacks.

Watering. Lilies should not be kept water-soaked, but should have a
moist surface during the growing season. Keep rather dry after they have
flowered.

L. Pardalinum Humboldtii, Washingtonianum, Never move a Li‘y bulb unless absolutely necessary,
and Parryii must be planted 6 to 8 inches deep,
according to size.

Puschkinia Libanotica

A hardy bulbous plant of great beauty; flowers white, striped with pale
blue, on spikes. It succeeds well in pots for winter blooming, and is ad-
mirably adapted for edgings and forming patches in front or mixed borders,
flowering in April and May. Height, 4 to 8 inches. 25 cents per doz.,
$1.50 per 100, $10.00 per 1000.

Babianas

especially in blues. “Do not miss them.” 3 for 15cts.; doz., 40cts.; 100,
$2.25; 1000, $18.00.

Tritona Crocata

One of the most brilliant winter flowering bulbs. Treat like Freesia.
It produces spikes of large, well opened flowers of the most fiery cardinal
color. Very easily grown and sure to produce bloom in our Prepared
Mossfiber during the winter months. Is hardy in open ground South of
Massachusetts. 3 for 10 cts.; doz., 30cts.; 100, $1.25; 1000, $7.00.

Winter Aconite

This appears just after the first messenger of spring, the lovely Snowdrop.
Its large glossy yellow flowers, set in a cup of leafy green are wonderfully
cheerful in the dull winter landscape, when even the grass is still brown,
and Tulips and Hyacinths sleep in their winter coats. Winter Aconites
are very pretty as edgings for beds planted under the edge of evergreens or
naturalized under trees, around rockwork. Forces well in a rather cool
temperature. It multiplies rapidly and should adorn every bulb garden.
3 for 6 cts.; doz., 20 cts.; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00.

Ornithogalum UmbeUatum

The Star of Bethlehem is a lovely flower. It soon forms mats of narrow
silver striped foliage, dotted in early summer with a profusion of dainty
milk white stars. Is most useful as border edging for herbaceous borders,
and is perfectly hardy. If planted early in season in pots in the house
it will flower well during winter. Doz., 20 cts.; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00.

All these bulbs flower well in our Prepared Mossfiber

Ornithogalum Arabicum

Each 12 100

Native of Arabia. Bulbs large and solid, re-
sembling very much a Roman Hyacinth bulb.

Foliage long, narrow, and deep green. Flower
spikes 18 to 24 inches long, very graceful, bearing
immense clusters of large milkwhite flowers each
with a velvety black center. The flowers keep
many weeks before fading, and exhale a delicate
and exquisite perfume. This flower ranks as one
of the very best winter bloomers. Plant single
in 5-inch pots or several in larger receptacles.

Large bulbs -. $ 04 $ 25 $2 00

Monster bulbs, bearing masses of flowers ..... 06 30 2 75

Pseonias

Paeonias take rank as one of the most beautiful hardy perennials. They
have found so many lovers within the last few years that now no garden
is complete without these gorgeous blooms. More and more new sorts
are heralded each year often differing but little from the old and tried
sorts. We list only varieties which have been approved as being up-to-
date, the very best for size, hardiness, glory of coloring and free bloomers,
and feel sure that the most critical gardener will bear us out after trying
whole or part of our collections. It is said that to plant pseonias in fall
will give the finest flowers and the strongest growth. We are not quite
certain about this in all and every instance as we have found that in
many cases spring planted root clumps have made splendid growth and
flowered fine.

SPECIAL NOTICE

Most growers of P^onias send out divided roots and offer them in con*
sequence at lower prices. We furnish only roots with a number of eyes,
very strong and giving satisfaction the first season.

Japan Tree Paeonias

This variety of Paeonia' is so perfectly beautiful and so ornamental
that were it better known, everybody would want it in their gardens. It
grows, contrary to the Herbaceous sort, which dies down to the ground
every season, into a shrub from 6 to 8 feet in height, crowned every season
with the magnificent blooms.

In Japan the exhibition of Tree Paeonias is a yearly event and festival
to which thousands of persons come from far and near. The specimens
are exhibited in pots, and the wealth of bloom is truly marvelous.

These Paeonias are grafted on the stock of Paeonia mutabilis. The
varieties we offer are chosen from a bewildering mass of sorts, but we have
carefully picked out the greatest variety of color and the finest forms of
flowers. The Tree Paeonia must be planted into rich soil, being a greedy
feeder, much like the Chrysanthemums. (We send with every order
full directions how best to care for these magnificent shrubs.)

Note: Tree Paeonias must be ordered in fall. Delivery is made in
earliest spring. When planted at once the shrub will flower first season.
Its beauty will enchant you.

The stems are long and strong, crowned with umbels of fiery deep red

warm sunny spots, where it commences to flower in August, and continues
until frosts make it necessary to lift the bulb and take it into the house.

per dozen, $1.15.

These oddly shaped little bulbs produce some of the finest and gor-
geously colored flowers. Those we can recommend the most are

French Ranunculus which have a very strong sturdy
growth, flower very freely and produce many and
rich colors and very large flowers. In splendid
mixture

Turkish or Turban Ranunculus. These are the
earliest flowering and well adapted for forcing in the
house in a moderate temperature

Persian Ranunculus. While these show the most
gorgeous colors they have not the vigorous growth

of the French and Turban

gether with the lovely blue Scilla, amongst beds of Tulips and Hyacinths,

GROW A CAMPHOR TREE

It is most beautiful as an evergreen in a room, and is considered in-
valuable if placed in sick rooms, exhaling a spicy fragrance when touched.
It is beneficial against fever and malaria. Belonging to the family of
Lauracea or Laurel trees its growth is similar to the Laurel or Baytree.

The tree is never attacked by any insect. The foliage is a brilliant light
green, every leaf looking as if it had been freshly varnished. It is easily
raised from seed. In sowing the seed it should be sown in a pot or box of
pulverized rich soil about an inch deep and about two inches apart. Give
a thorough watering, then place in a warm place about 60 to 70 degrees. A
pane of glass placed over the box or pot will aid germination. When the
seedlings are about five inches high, transplant into two-inch pots, allow to
get thoroughly root bound, then transplant into larger pot. When again
root bound, repeat operation. Later on the trees can be planted in large
pots or tubs. In Winter treat same as Bay trees or Rubber trees. Keep
foliage clean.

12 seeds, 10 cts., 50 seeds, 25 cts. Young trees, pot-grown, 10 to 15
inches high, each 75 cts., 15 to 20 inches high, each $1.00, delivery

ROCK GARDENING

The effect of a well laid out Rock garden, is one of the
prettiest features in rock scenery. It furnishes a home
for many Alpine and rock plants; which cannot flourish
under other conditions. While comparatively new in
this country, the artistic beauty of rock gardens has
been appreciated for quite a while in Europe, especially
in England, the Home of all that is novel and exquisite
in Garden lore; where gardening is a cult with the
lover of flowers. Before long this interesting and
unique style of Landscape Gardening will find favor
amongst our Garden enthusiasts. The site selected
for a Rock Garden should be one exposed to full sun; as
most Alpines object to the shade, and drip from trees.
Almost any kind of stone or rock will do, avoiding only
the slaty kinds — or those that are liable to crumble.
Wherever in the natural formation of a Garden spot,
rocks are cropping out, it would be waste to create
artificially what is provided by nature. Above all, the
rocks must have all bases buried solidly in the ground.
All seams or fissures must be well filled out with broken
stones, grit, and good earth. All crevices well crammed
with earth, in which the bulbs or plants find a home,
and growing therein, will soon hide all hollow spaces
and fissures. Permit no open crevices or loose soil,
which would allow the dry air to strike the plants, or
especially the roots, which must be well covered in their
feeding places.

The Wonder Lily and Lily of Valley received. I am delighted with them and your catalogue.

Mrs. M. A. D., Claymont, Del.

H. H. Berger & Co.

Please send me another dozen Lily of Valley to reach me about January 20th, the next middle of March. The
first dozen I ordered from you, planted on the 3d of December, are in full bloom and are exquisite although they
arrived while I was out of town and the package lay here unopened for two weeks. I have never seen a lovelier bowl
of flowers, not excepting those grown by professional florists. The six Soleil D’Or which you sent in September, and
which I planted in your Prepared Mossfiber are also in bloom and are beautiful. One stalk is 22 inches high and has
14 flowers on it. The Mossfiber seems perfectly adapted for forcing bulbs indoors, and I am delighted with it.

LAWNS

The paramount question asked every
spring by owner of Bungalow or Country
estate alike is.

How can I establish a beautiful perman-
ent lawn?

How can I restore a poor lawn?

How can I keep a well established lawn in
good condition?

We say. First of all. buy only the very
best seed obtainable, even if it costs a
little more. You wish to raise Grass not
weeds. Be sure that the soil for your lawn
is rich, so as to furnish the grass roots an
abundance of food. Dig up the soil to a
depth of 8 inches, enrich it by adding well
rotted Manure, or bone meal or pulverized
Sheep manure. Rake the surface perfectly
even leaving no hollows or unequalities in
the soil, then sow the seed liberally. Four
bushels and even more to one acre is none
too much for a new lawn. For renovating
old lawns 1 \ to 2 bushels to acre. For a new
plot 15 x 25 ft. two quarts is sufficient. To
renovate such a plot one quart will suffice.
N ever sow grass seed on a wi ndy day . Sow
the seed as early in the spring as possible to
get the grass well started before the very
hot weather arrives. It is a matter of
opinion whether fall or spring is better to
start a new lawn. We are in favor of spring

A Beautiful Lawn

WATERING THE LAWN

Water must be always applied in a manner that the moisture reaches
the roots, mere surface sprinkling is of no use. In warm weather water
only in the early morning or after sundown. A good thing is, to let lawn
sprinklers run for awhile on one spot, until thoroughly saturated, then re-
move to next one until the whole lawn has had a good soaking which will
last better than a slight application of water several times.

WEEDS

One of the most frequent weeds in the lawn is the Dandelion. These
have long taproots and must be taken out thoroughly to keep out. A
good tool is an asparagus knife with a long blade, which reaches to bottom of
root. Plantains also infest lawns. They can be easily drawn out with
the hand. Wherever weeds leave an empty spot sprinkle a little fresh grass
seed and press down hard. It will soon obliterate with fresh growth. No
matter what tools are offered for the extirpation of weeds nothing takes the
place of conscientious hand weeding.

BERGER’S TIP TOP LAWN GRASS

If your established lawn has been
fertilized in fall it will not need it in spring.
If not, the best dressing for a lawn in spring is one of Bonemeal
or Canadian hardwood ashes. Put on thick enough to give the grass a
gravish appearance after the application. Nitrate of Soda applied
cautiouelv is the best remedy to make the lawn appear especially thrifty and.
a beautiful green color. For a small plot 25 x 25, place j lb. in 50 gallons
of water and sprinkle the grass. The effect will show in a very short time.

SHADY PLACE LAWN GRASS SEEDS

No grass will grow under Pine trees.

If greenery is wanted under pine or conifer trees, small creeping plants

appear in places around evergreens, etc., where the sun does not penetrate.
This can be remedied by using this seed, which is composed of varieties
of grasses thriving in shady spots.

One lb., 40 cts.; one bu., of 20 lbs., $7.00, including delivery.

stems, for lawn purposes, a binder; and of considerable value for perma-
nent pastures. Crop short.
